Lin Xi said, "No, you do. You can go home and ask your parents. Although your brother is not with you now, he is still alive. If you want to find him, don't give up."
What? !
Ye Luoluo was shocked and wanted to continue denying that she did not have a brother, but when she thought about the fact that Lin Xi would go out on a specific day every year, she suddenly felt that what Lin Xi said might be true.
Ye Luoluo was absent-minded the whole morning. She didn't even listen carefully to what Wu Bin and Lin Xi said about how to deal with the ghost in the school. Her mind was full of the possibility that she had a brother.
Finally it was afternoon, and she wanted to go home more than ever.
When she got home, her mother had just returned from get off work and hadn't even put down her bag yet.
Seeing her daughter running out of breath, Mother Ye was stunned.
"What's going on? You're running so fast. Is there someone chasing you?"
As she said this, Ye Luoluo looked behind her in amusement, but there was nothing.
Ye Luoluo couldn't even wait to calm her breathing and asked her mother directly.
"Mom, do I have a brother?!"
The smile on Ye's mother's face froze instantly.
After several seconds, she asked with a sullen face, "Who told you that?"
Mom didn't deny it, it turned out to be true!
Ye Luoluo couldn't believe that she actually had a brother, but why had she never heard her parents talk about it for so many years, and even no one else in the family mentioned it!
"Mom, don't worry about who told me this. I really do have a brother. Where is his father now? Why isn't he in our family? Is it him..."
Ye Luoluo wanted to ask if he had died in an accident, but suddenly she remembered what Lin Xi said during the day, that her brother was still alive, so she should not give up and keep looking!
Her brother is still alive!
"My brother is still alive, Mom, you can't find him."
At this moment, Ye Luoluo no longer doubted what Lin Xi said, because everything she calculated was correct.
Naturally, Ye Luoluo also firmly believed that her brother was still alive.
When Mother Ye heard her daughter say that her brother was still alive, her face, which had been solemn, suddenly broke into a miserable smile, a smile full of bitterness and despair.
Perhaps because she realized that some things could no longer be concealed, she had no choice but to tell Ye Luoluo the truth.
It's better than having someone whispering nonsense in Ye Luoluo's ears and making her feel guilty.
"Yes, you do have a brother...but he passed away ten years ago..."
Ten years ago, when Ye Luoluo was just over one year old, her son was only three years old.
When she said this, tears came down on Ye's mother's face.
"Impossible, my brother is still alive!"
Although Ye Luoluo was shocked for a moment, she inexplicably believed in Lin Xi.
Her brother is definitely still alive.
Mother Ye also didn't believe that her son was dead, but the body that was fished out of the river was wearing exactly the same clothes as her son and had a similar body shape.
Thinking of her three-year-old son, whose face was completely disfigured by the water and almost unrecognizable, Mother Ye burst into tears.
"Lolo, your brother died in an accident. If anyone tells you something nonsense, don't believe them, okay?"
At that time, she and her husband took their son and daughter to the amusement park. Amusement parks were still rare in the early 2000s, so their family had specially prepared for a long time before going to the amusement park.
But after entering, they found that there were too many people. She and her husband brought their two children, so it was safe for them to hold one each.
But the problem is that there are too many things in the amusement park that children like.
My daughter and son have different preferences.
My daughter was still young at the time, just over one year old, and not very sensible, but she pointed at a colorful doll and asked for it. There were a lot of people in the doll store, and we had to queue.
The couple originally planned to wait until there were fewer people around before buying it, but looking at their daughter's expression, she was likely to cry if she didn't hold the doll.
After finally getting a chance to go out for fun, the couple wanted their children to have some fun.
Coupled with having a father who dotes on his daughter, Mr. Ye finally decided to wait in line himself and let Mrs. Ye take the two children to find a place to sit outside and wait for him.
When Mother Ye heard this, she also thought this idea was feasible, so she took her two children to a nearby open-air restaurant. As the children were probably hungry after a while, Mother Ye took them to buy some food.
She held one child in each hand and didn't dare to let go the whole time. As a result, there were crowds of people everywhere in the amusement park, even the places where people bought food and paid were packed.
When it came time to pay, Mother Ye had no choice but to temporarily let go of her son's hand and let him hold the corner of her clothes while she used her free hand to pay.
Just in the few seconds it took to pay, my son was pushed away by a group of people.
When Ye's mother realized what was happening, she shouted her son's name and frantically called for help, but the crowded crowd not only did not disperse, but instead seemed to want to separate her and her daughter.
At that moment, Mother Ye realized something. She grabbed her daughter's hand tightly and gritted her teeth to prevent her daughter from being dragged away.
Human traffickers were rampant in that era. Seeing that Mama Ye was a woman with two children, both of whom were well-raised, they decided to rob them.
Unfortunately, in the end, because Ye's mother refused to let go, the restaurant staff came out and they could only take their son away with regret.
The human traffickers all work in gangs. After taking Ye Luoluo's brother away from Ye's mother, they immediately handed him over to the next group of people. By the time the store staff called the police, the child had already been moved out of the amusement park.
Later, the Ye couple naturally did not give up looking for their son.
But just two months later, the body of a little boy was fished out of a river in a remote county. The police notified all families who had registered their children's disappearance to check.
The Ye family couple also came, and saw on the child the clothes, pants, and shoes that their son wore on the day he went to the amusement park.
Even the bloated corpse looked similar to his son, with similar organs.
At that moment, Mother Ye fainted.
Afterwards, no matter how unwilling they were, the couple had to accept the fact that their son was dead.
